Outside in the cold distance    a wildcat did growl,

"There must be some way out of here," 
said the joker to the thief, 
"There's too much confusion, 
I can't get no relief. 

Businessmen, they drink my wine, 
plowmen dig my earth, 
None of them along the line 
know what any of it is worth." 

"No reason to get excited," 
the thief, he kindly spoke, 
"There are many here among us 
who feel that life is but a joke. 

But you and I, we've been through that, 
and this is not our fate, 
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late." 

All along the watchtower, 
princes kept the view 
While all the women came and went, 
barefoot servants, too. 
Outside in the distance 
a wildcat did growl, 
Two riders were approaching, 
the wind began to howl.

[VERSE]
       D5         Csus2        G/B      Bb5 C5     D5    Csus2  G/B
In the white room,  with black curtains,  near the station.
Bb5 C5        D5      Csus2      G/B      Bb5 C5    D5    Csus2  G/B
   Black roof country,  no gold pavements,   tired starlings.
Bb5 C5  D5     Csus2      G/B       Bb5  C5    D5      Csus2  G/B
 Silver horses,  ran down moonbeams,  in your dark eyes.
Bb5 C5     D5      Csus2    G/B     Bb5  C5  D5    Csus2  G/B  Bb5 C5
 Dawn light smiles,  on you leaving,  my contentment.
  
[CHORUS]
     C            G               Bb         A
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
C            G               Bb       C            D     | D N.C.  |
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.
 
[VERSE]
          D5        Csus2     G/B      Bb5 C5   D5     Csus2  G/B
You said no strings,  could secure you,  at the station.
Bb5 C5      D5    Csus2       G/B    Bb5 C5      D5    Csus2  G/B
  Platform ticket,  restless diesels,   goodbye windows.
Bb5 C5      D5   Csus2    G/B      Bb5 C5    D5    Csus2  G/B
   I walked into,  such a sad time, at the station.
Bb5  C5 D5         Csus2     G/B      Bb5 C5   D5    Csus2  G/B  Bb5 C5
   As I walked out,  felt my own need, just beginning.
  
[CHORUS]
     C            G               Bb         A
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come by;
C            G         Bb       C          D
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

[VERSE] 
       D5    Csus2     G/B      Bb5 C5   D5        Csus2  G/B
At the party,  she was kindness,  in the hard crowd.
Bb5 C5  D5    Csus2     G/B       Bb5 C5   D5    Csus2  G/B
  Consolation,  for the old wound,  now forgotten.
Bb5 C5  D5     Csus2         G/B     Bb5 C5   D5       Csus2  G/B
 Yellow tigers,  crouched in jungles,  in her dark eyes.
Bb5 C5        D5       Csus2     G/B     Bb5  C5   D5     Csus2  G/B  Bb5 C5
   She's just dressing,  goodbye windows,  tired starlings.
 
[CHORUS] 
     C             G              Bb       A
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
C            G            Bb      C           D
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.
